Public bug reported:

This is a fresh install of pdksh, so no configuration has been done at
all.

Before each prompt it complains
pdksh: : bad substitution
and this causes $? to contain 1 indicating failure regardless of the outcome of 
the command

Example short session:


kevin@treat:~$ pdksh
pdksh: : bad substitution
$ which pdksh
/bin/pdksh
pdksh: : bad substitution
$ echo $?
1
pdksh: : bad substitution
$ exit
kevin@treat:~$
